This joint CEDAR/GEM session on ionosphere/plasmasphere coupling was focused on storm-time plasma redistribution, heating, and other mass coupling topics. Several speakers presented their recent results in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing for plenty of question and answer time between talks and discussion at the end of the session. It was felt to be a successful dialogue between the ionospheric and magnetospheric communities regarding mid-latitude/inner-magnetospheric mass coupling.
